Spread a thin layer on toast, scones, or biscuits for a delightful breakfast or afternoon tea. It is particularly effective as a glaze for roasted meats like pork tenderloin or chicken breast; simply warm the spread and brush it over the meat during the last few minutes of cooking. For an appetizer, serve it alongside a selection of cheeses, crackers, and charcuterie. It can also be incorporated into vinaigrettes or used to add a complex flavor to savory sauces.
